About the 'enclosing', is it a prticiple or a gerund?
I think it's a participle, but I'm not sure on this one...

enclosing
Our early ancestors had little conception of the difference between human beings and the animal creation. To them all that had life was animated by a spirit, and the form of the enclosing body made little difference.

Dear Taka, It is perhaps an adjectival participle. I do not think it is a gerund. It qualifies «body».
